The Patient From Hell Ep 37: Decoding Decision-Making in Prostate Cancer with Dr. David Penson [Video]

Dr. David Penson, Chair of the Department of Urology at Vanderbilt University, discusses his comparative effectiveness research in prostate cancer. In the second of our two-part prostate cancer series, we delve deeper into the world of prostate cancer treatment decision-making. Dr. Penson discusses the emotional and informational hurdles that patients face, as well as the importance of patient education, understanding patient preferences, and the ongoing battle against over treatment in prostate cancer. Key Highlights:1. Importance of informed decision making and arming patients with accurate and reliable information.2. Understanding the concept of patient preferences in treatment decision making.3. Overcoming decision biases and how the emotion of a cancer diagnosis can outweigh a rational decision-making process.About our guest:David F. Penson, MD, MPH is the Hamilton and Howd Chair in Urologic Oncology, Director of the Center for Surgical Quality and Outcomes Research and Professor and Chair, Department of Urology at Vanderbilt University. He currently maintains a clinical practice in urologic oncology at the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center. While his general research focus is clinical epidemiology and health services research across all urologic disease, his specific interests include the comparative effectiveness of treatment options in localized prostate cancer and the impact of the disease and its treatment on patients’ quality of life.Key Moments:4 minutes: On over diagnosis and the clinical shift to active surveillance. “We have this situation where we were over diagnosing. Half the men who were detected by PSA screening at the turn of the century were over diagnosed, depending on how you defined over diagnosis. And they were all getting treated. So you had this terrible problem where we were just kind of treating everybody. I think what we’ve learned is that, in fact, not everyone with prostate cancer needs to be treated. That PSA picks up a lot of clinically indolent prostate cancer.”24 minutes: On determining a patient’s treatment priorities: “The cancer control and cure piece is not quite as clear [with radiation] because you’re not pulling the cancer out. So you don’t have the psychological benefit of knowing what you’re dealing with. And it’s very hard to do surgery after radiation. So it becomes this set of options, a set of what’s important to you, right? So patients may not walk in the door saying, ‘I have a preference set.’ But as you start talking to them, their preference set becomes relatively clear. And when I talk to them, I say, ‘Listen, I can tell you what I would do,’ because a lot of times they say, ‘Doc, what would you do?’ But the problem is, I can’t take Dave out of Dr. Penson, right? So I have my own set of preferences.”36 minutes: On how emotion can override rational decision making. “But I think it’s very hard to sort of turn down the emotional volume because the word ‘cancer’, any human hears that, and it scares you. Right? That goes back to what we were saying before about maybe we shouldn’t be calling Gleason 6 cancer, cancer. Because there’s a charge that goes with that word that freaks people out.” This episode was supported by the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI).Disclaimer: This podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

#VitaminEandCancer #ProstateCancerResearch #prostatecancer #selenium #clevelandclinic #DrGeoEspinosa #DrEricKlein In this episode, we dive deep into the intriguing relationship between vitamin E, Selenium, and the risk of prostate cancer. Taking center stage is the renowned SELECT trial from the early 2000s, which sparked numerous questions about this association.

Now engaged in groundbreaking genetic testing for various cancers with Grail, Dr. Klein’s insights are invaluable.Together, we delve into the choices made in the study – like using synthetic vitamin E when mixed tocopherols might have been better, or the decision to use Selenium methionine over SEIS yeast. Dr. Klein also shares his enriching experiences at Stanford University’s Distinguished Korea Institute, a commendable program tailored for retirees focusing on wellness, community, and purpose. Plus, we journey through the transformation of prostate cancer treatment and understanding from the late 1980s to today.Please tune in for a captivating conversation with Dr. Eric Klein about vitamin E, Selenium, prostate cancer, and the many intricacies of his storied career.
